I'm after a replacement volume knob look all seem to be the same on size wise on the front of the amp except the 1 to 5 mid band knob and have no idea were to start looking ..tried eBay and google wonder if any one has any ideas thanks

I have used a TC helicon voice live two if you use it use it only now and then for the effect otherwise it's too much ,i have a connect from the mixer to take the sound of the rhythm guitar and input this into the effect pedal to keep pitch it works ok good on backing not so good it you use it on lead

Playing the last gigs in the next couple of months and was talking to the drummer who takes the bookings for the band about the new year 2023 with cost-of-living fuel prices and gas and electric costs to venues just wondering what the outlook for gigging bands ,This year we have seen a downturn in clubs not so much in pubs of people coming to these venues The price of bands going out will go up for sure as their overheads go up and we have seen in some venues that use to have bands now having solo acts or duos just a thought any views

I have an Ampeg CL heritage that I’m using with two Ampeg PL. 4x 10 8 ohm cabs so that the amp works in four ohms it says at the manual for the amplifier that can only run in the 4 or 2 ohms so in some smaller venues it would be ideal just to use one cab so the understanding is this will be 8ohms is there is there any way to use one cab with this amp thanks

I've been look at this setup for a while seen may videos mostly in either a studio or practice mode never a live on stage view has. any one with this combo and used it in a live situation and any views would be helpful thanks

I have been using Voice Live 2 for some time it takes a bit to set up once done its good to use but can be over done or to many effects being on a mic can bring in feed back problems I use it for backing ... can be hard to set up and it has loads of presets but most are useless i use the reverb echo and set up doubler effect and some times harmony's but for me i only use it now and then but can be effective

I'm also the bass player and in control of the sound and all the problems that came with it ,old school with mixer on stage ,sound checks a night mare and when every thing went wrong with the PA or monitors all eyes turn to you. I came across at the time the Mackie DL1608 mixer using an iPad control surface using Mackie master fader app and it solved all the problems I was having at the time , you can down load the app for free and try it to get use to it once connected to the DL1608 works great Have moved to the Mackie DL32R now and its even better ,think they stopped making the 1608 and would highly recommend going down this route ,it saves space ,easy to use ,easy to read , can use it on stage or out in the floor space to sound check , built in everything from graphics to effects parametric EQs compression and gates … hope it helps

Using a bass on stage Lakland 55-02 with DI box into PA and using 4 x10 cabs on stage with amp...is it better to have guitar volume up to max or say leave it at half way with some in reserve The guitar player in the band uses a fender strat says you must play with volume up to max on the guitar to get best out of the pickups

I have an Ampeg 2 Pro and not used for some time and decided to try it out...not sure of the age but looks like one of the newer type … anyway switched the power on all ok left it for a while to warm up and switched off standby and went into red light flashing at the front. Looks like its needing some TLC but I live on the eat coast no repair shops about here so asking if any one knows were to send something like this to be looked at .I would like to get it up and running to use ,even if it weights a ton any ideas thanks Stewart

I have a 2015 Ampeg Heritage that's come up with a red flashing fault light when turned on...Its been mine from new, looked after and flight cased. If I turn down one of the bias screws on the back you can power on the amp as normal and it works but hums a lot and the light above the bias control is red if you turn the screw adjustment to try to balance ...to matching green as is the other bias light the amp shuts down fault light comes on. no idea were to take it as I live in Lincolnshire, any help on this would be appreciatd

Have a Lakland 55-94 with i belive USA pick ups look like LH-3 type the music man type with the toggle switch works fine but nothing on the neck jazz pickup either in passive or active ,have looked inside the compartment on the back all seems wired up ok no lose wires any one have any ideas thanks Stewart

I have been in bands since I was 20 and now 63 started on guitar then moved to bass , a move I should have made years ago as the most enjoyable time I ever had. The bands I have been in have all been long term bands one lasting 20 years and the one I'm in just over 10. Other members in the band some older than me have been talking of calling it a day this year. Now I feel I would like to carry on maybe join others I believe I still have a few years , so the issue is and this might come to others ,you still have the drive wanting to play to people but the pool of music friends seems to be getting smaller... adverts all seen to want younger people and most of my music friends have either given up way back and moved on to other things. So I'm just start to look about ...but not easy... Stewart

I have had this amp from new now just over two years old ,just before christmas at a gig on stage for 3 songs then no sound out of the amp with flashing green / red fault light on Got through the night and today checked it out to find at the back of the amp a red bias light on all of the time on the left side, turn it down a bit power on the amp it works but a hum there all the time alter the bias up a bit and amp shuts down to red /green fault any one at ideas thanks Stewart
